Airflow vs. Protection in Broiler Houses: How to Get Both With the Right Shield

Wind Baffles – Creating a More Stable Internal Environment

Features
Does not compromise ventilation capacity
Ensures consistent and stable airflow
Promotes a more uniform internal environment, helping to reduce stress in animals

Optimizing Air Intake

In high-wind conditions, outdoor air entering through air inlets can be disrupted, causing it to enter at an excessive velocity. This can create drafts or cold air currents at the level where animals are housed, destabilizing the internal environment and leading to animal agitation, stress, and various health issues.

These wind baffles are specifically designed to mitigate the impact of wind. They ensure stable airflow without reducing ventilation capacity, ultimately enhancing animal performance.

Wind Baffle Characteristics
Constructed from robust, durable plastic
Offers minimal resistance to airflow
Effectively blocks rain, strong winds, and direct sunlight
Available in both light-blocking (total blackout) and non-light-blocking versions

Wind Baffle Advantages
UV-resistant, ensuring the material does not become brittle over long-term use
Customizable dimensions to minimize any impact on total ventilation volume
Features a closed-top design, providing superior protection during adverse weather
Can be installed on standard frames and structural supports
Compatible with pre-assembled light-blocking components for easy installation
